Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 143: Returning Victoriously (Available now~Please subscribe~)

The Lizardmen's losses this time were indeed heavy, because they faced the reserve army led by Tantalus himself.

The knight brigade led by the already deceased Tantalus and Forbucts dealt a heavy blow to the Lizardmen.

Especially Tantalus who took action personally. If time permits, this champion knight with superb martial arts and strong physique can really kill them all. It is difficult for the lizardmen to pose a substantial threat to him, and it will only slow down his killing speed.

Tantalus alone was responsible for more than half of the Lizardmen's casualties.

"Lizardmen are born to fight, and dying in battle is common. As for corpses, we don't have any special customs."

Slaco and Zandata didn't think much of the loss of the Lizardmen or the fact that their bodies were turned into undead.

Fighting for territory, fighting wars, and always having casualties? It's a good thing if the dead can rise again to help.

Fighting and death are very common things in the lizardman society, and they are not without enemies in the rainforest.

In order to occupy the rainforest and expand their living space, the lizard people fought with various creatures in the rainforest. The lizard people were able to reach their current huge size in the rainforest entirely by killing their way out.

They can indeed be called a fighting race, especially the branches such as lizardmen and monitors. Among them, the monitors with low intelligence are almost entirely born for fighting.

"This is best."

Werner was of course very satisfied with this answer. He could see that the two Lizardmen managers really thought so and did not hold any grudges against the Lizardmen's losses.

This is enough. As long as there is no problem with Slako and Zandata, there will be no problem with these lizardmen as a whole.

In the tribe, the two priests have absolute say. This is the society of the Lizardmen. Werner does not understand it, but he respects it.

Lizardmen admire the strong, and this strength is not just about strength, but also about wisdom. This is why green lizards can often dominate the lizardmen society.

Green lizards have higher intelligence and can accomplish things that lizardmen cannot do. They lead the lizardmen to develop and live a better life. They are the wise men in the tribe.

The green lizards can find ways to tame the terrifying beasts that they had to face in the past, turning them into mounts, weapons, and helpers for the lizardmen.

Those strange tools, weapons, food, buildings, etc. are all researched, produced and designed by the green lizards.

Green lizards are the backbone of the entire lizardman society. It can also be said that it is because of the green lizards that the lizardman civilization exists.

The smartest among the green lizards are the priests. Therefore, priests are often the first-line leaders in a lizardman tribe. The lizardmen may also have powerful people like Lizard, but this kind of power must also obey the orders of the priests.

In the eyes of Slako and Zandatta, the duty of the lizardmen is to fight, and sacrificing in battle is their destiny.

This wasn't indifference or discrimination; it had always been this way, just as the green lizards were responsible for other daily production tasks. Within Lizardman society, the division of labor was clear: Lizardmen would mine and perform other manual labor, while green lizards would also fight on the battlefield, providing long-range firepower and scouts. Neither side felt the other was taking advantage.

Since the Lizardmen are fine, Wangbo Port can directly declare a complete victory in this war with Duke Drum.

After cleaning up the battlefield, collecting supplies, and burning the unused corpses and broken limbs, the people of Wangbo Port embarked on their return journey, letting those who needed to board the ship board and those who needed to walk walk.

Slaco and Zandata returned to the obsidian mine together, but did not return to Port Wangbo. Lizard also brought his men to follow Slaco. Port Wangbo did not need them for the time being, and the lizardman undead warriors could complete the work for them.

In this battle, no one from the Magrath expeditionary force escaped; some died or surrendered. This was all thanks to their unity and the inspiring aura of the knights.

Encouraged by the knights, the Magras people gathered together as a group. They did not flee in all directions. They died together and surrendered together, which saved the Wangbo Port army a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, Karen would have to mark the fleeing soldiers one by one, and then send people to chase them all over the mountains and plains, which would definitely take a lot of time and energy.

At noon the next day, the army returned victoriously, the ships docked, and the Skeleton Legion returned to their posts and immediately got down to work. Anyway, they didn't need to participate in any celebrations.

The return of the army made the entire Wangbo Port joyful. The air in Wangbo Port was filled with joy and excitement. There were no casualties, which was simply the best news.

The eight players who died: "Are we human beings?!"

In fact, no one really cared about the lives of those eight players. They had no relatives living in Wangbo Port, nor did they have a wife at home like [Mount and Blade 16 Years].

Only the players would occasionally tease these eight warriors, because they rushed too far forward in their eagerness to make a contribution, and were chopped to death by several knights. They died just before the victory of the battle, so they were also praised by the players as "Nelson's Eight Warriors".

At the Wangbo Port dock, various supplies were unloaded from the ship, making Uther and Lyle, father and son, smile happily. The food and fodder brought by the Magras expeditionary force was really a lot, enough for more than 1,300 people to consume for one or two months, with everything for people and horses to eat.

The people of the Magras expeditionary force had no time to use them, and now they were all stored in the warehouse of Wangbo Port.

In addition to food and fodder, there were also war horses, weapons, armor and other harvests, which dazzled Uther and Lyle. This was a real big harvest!
As a regular army with a large number of knights, the Magras expeditionary force had many horses and a high armor-wearing rate. There were nearly two hundred surviving war horses and nearly one hundred and fifty sets of armor that were intact or not severely damaged.

The severely damaged armor and weapons were also brought back. If they could be recycled, they were recycled. If not, they were directly converted into farm tools.

Based on the principle of putting people first, although the awakened undead are stronger, armor and other items will definitely be given priority to the living, but weapons and other items will be retained.

The more than 700 undead that Karen newly awakened are all equipped with handy weapons. This alone makes them much stronger than before.

"The prisoners are in your hands, Hellion."

Looking at the dejected captives being escorted off the ship, Karen made arrangements. These captives were all Magras people, and it would be safest to leave them to the charge of his fellow villager Hellion.
